I won't blame Pybus, rather I would blame BCB for allowing him to take advantage.
It seems BCB has no control over it's employees! Not surprised!!

Thought pybus would be dedicated to improving BD cricket, I realise coaches need breaks to but he just got the job not that long ago and the team didn't do so well in this WC plus WI series isn't to far away. Is it a scheduling reason why he took the break now? Otherwise why would he take the break right before a very important series?

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has said it is concerned that Richard Pybus, who took over as the national team's head coach in May, hasn't yet signed a contract with the board. The BCB took up the matter on Sunday after it came to the media's notice.

The board's cricket operations committee, in a meeting, asked the acting CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury to communicate with Pybus, who returned to South Africa last week. He had given the national players a rest before playing in the first-class competition, the National Cricket League, which was supposed to start on October 14 and run till the Eid holidays later this month. But since the NCL's scheduled start has been delayed, the board now expects Pybus to start the national team's training programme earlier.

How dumb are the BCB, seriously? They let a person coach the NT without asking him to sign the contract ?!

Just goes to show how unprofessional these people are. Just ridiculous! Of course then, Pybus is entitled to leave without any notice and he decides how long he wants to holiday because he didn't sign the damn contract!

Problems problems and problems. That's all we get from bcb. When are we ever getting a solution? Bcb is at fault here. Why would you give that kinda advantage to anybody? I hope Pybus doesn't ruin the relationship of richard mccinnes and bangladesh!Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Blackberry)

Need to professionalize BCB. Need to hire a CEO with real world experience who will be given total freedom of day to day operation without MK poking at every issue and micro managing. Sometimes better to higher a foreign sports administrator than a local one. For example one of our former CEO's the Zimbabwean Macky Dudhia was a very tough, no nonsense character. No one could mess with him. I know someone who worked at BCB who told me the guy tried to root out corruption and run BCB like a full fledged corporation. Someone like that would never allow Pybus to take advantage how he did.

Of course easier said that done. A fish rots from its head. Would our supremes ever allow the CEO to function without interfering in everything. Would they even give a damn to what a specialist would suggest.

Recently Sri Lanka has appointed former ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat as a consultant to Sri Lanka cricket. He is going to play a role in professionalizing Sri Lanka Cricket, revamping domestic cricket etc. Their chiefs here are willing to listen and develop the game.

Never liked the idea of hiring of Pybus due to his past record.. chhechrar moto etto high paid coach er shob dabi mene newatao oshojhhokor chhilo.. I wanted someone who would have more passion for coaching and cricket rather than the one who has already earned his reputation and have nothing new to add.

Anyways ja hoyechhe to hoyechhei oita niye matha kute more ekhon labh nei.. Now we should just get the best out of Pybus.. And for a team like BD you can't actually blame the coach for all the losses but definitely I lost my respect for him after reading these stuffs which shows he doesn't have the minimum work ethic or passion to improve the team performance.. He definitely didn't take the job as a challenge and is not ready to give his 200%.. And if the coach himself fails to set a work standard we can't expect our players to give their 200% or respect and listen to the coach as much..

Exactly! Pybus er eto vaab. Eto vaab kintu bhalo na! I never liked what he did to us before we signed him! I don't think I like his ways of doing things now either.Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Blackberry)

Many people hated Law when he first started and many even here in BC were arguing about why BCB hired Law with minimal coaching experience, some didnt like the number of days he took off as well. Paan theke Chun khoshlei "shob gelo shob gelo" rob uthto..After the Asia Cup the scenario did Change, he has become our national hero..

One good series for Pybus and this thread will take a U turn.
